A Taboo Object for the Wealthy

Gao Bancheng was so frightened that he hurriedly tucked the copper coin into his clothes. "Jiao-Level Taboo Object [Life-Buying Money]. If you suffer fatal harm, you can use it to buy your life."

Bai Ye's eyes gleamed brightly. The words "claim it for myself" might as well have been written across his face.

"If you don't give it to me, how do you know I can't use it?"

"I'm telling the truth. You don't meet the containment requirements for [Life-Buying Money]."

"And that's not all. You have to offer it one million every month. If you encounter danger, that costs extra—the greater the danger, the more money it demands. Like just now, I have to offer it another three million within a month, or it'll backlash against me."

After that incident, everyone
